  Venezuela - Mobile Communications and Mobile Data Market - BuddeComm
Mobile telephony in Venezuela has been far more dynamic than the fixed-line market, so much so that mobile phones outnumber fixed lines in service by more than four to one.
In 2006, the mobile scenario was transformed when Venezuelan businessman Oswaldo Cisneros acquired regional operator Digitel from Telecom Italia, and then merged three regional companies Digitel, Digicel, and Infonet into a single nationwide operator capable of competing with the two market leaders Movistar and Movilnet.
This report provides an overview of Venezuela’s mobile market, accompanied by statistical data and brief profiles of the operators.

 Venezuela
Venezuela means 'Little Venice' in Spanish, the name given to this northerly country in South America by the early explorers when they found the natives living on the Sinamaica lagoon, in houses built on stilts, close to the present day oil rich city of Maracaibo.
Venezuela's cities are similarly scenic, particularly the capital, Caracas, which sprawls in a long, thin valley flanked by the majestic Avila Mountain.
Venezuela has a little bit of everything that Latin America has to offer, with the addition of thousands of miles of Caribbean coastline, and the constantly pleasant temperature that makes it good year-round destination.

 Venezuela Special Report: Cannon Fodder
Venezuelan human rights organizations say that although freedom of expression is present in Venezuela, full guarantees for the exercise of such freedom are lacking, as illustrated by several recent judicial rulings that have permitted prior censorship or have penalized criticism of public officials.
For instance, according to CPJ research, during 1992, at least five media outlets in Venezuela were raided, censored, prohibited from circulating, or had copies of their publications confiscated by government authorities.
Community media outlets in Caracas such as TV Catia, TV Caricuao, Radio Perola, and Radio Catia Libre said that police raided their offices and that some workers were detained.

 The State of Democracy in Venezuela
Of increasing concern to the U.S., its hemispheric partners, and international bodies is the assault on Venezuela's democratic institutions.
There is growing consensus that democracy in Venezuela is in grave peril, as documented by international human rights groups, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and independent Venezuelan non-governmental organizations, among others.
There is unchecked concentration of power in the executive; politicization of the judiciary, the electoral authorities, and the legal system; political persecution of civil society and the democratic opposition; intimidation of the press; and threats to free association.

Founded nearly 25 years ago, the Institute for Communications Law Studies is devoted to the specialized training of select students in a body of regulatory law that affects perhaps the most powerful tool ever devised by human beings: mass communication.
Beyond familiarity with the technical points of communications law, and in step with the university's commitment to fostering servant leadership for the Church, the nation and the world, students are encouraged to think critically about the broader impact that mass media has upon society and human behavior.
The goal of the Institute for Communications Law Studies is to develop those men and women.

 The Washington Post in an Anti-Communist Time-Warp Over Venezuela
Rather, it is a communications commission, which consists of ministerial appointees and representatives from civil society and the church.
First, Colombia never asked Venezuela to arrest and extradite the person in question (Rodrigo Granda), so no sanctuary could have been given to someone who was not sought by the police.
It seems that the Post has completely lost its bearings and joined the looney fringe of Venezuela’s opposition, some of whom still claim that Chavez lost the recall referendum, which the OAS and Carter Center approved, and that Venezuela is a “castro-communist” dictatorship.

 Venezuela's New Chokehold on Civil Society
For now, Venezuela’s new International Cooperation Law is a framework, but when filled in by President Hugo Chávez, it will muzzle the few voices that still provide a check on his creeping dictatorship.
Interna­tional broadcasting to Venezuela should encourage the poor to ask whether they are any better off than they were before the Chávez regime as well as reveal losses to corruption and transfers to political causes outside Venezuela.
This should be done to lend Venezuela’s unions, universities, think tanks, political parties, and rights monitors courage, as well as to mark boundaries that no authority should cross in trying to influence citi­zens’ thoughts.

 Venezuela becomes Latin America's biggest buyer of weapons
This retooling of Venezuela's military strategy, which includes the creation of a large civilian reserve force and military assistance to regional allies such as Bolivia, has been part of a steadily deteriorating political relationship with the United States.
Venezuela's escalation of arms spending, up 12.5 percent in 2006, has brought harsh criticism from the Bush administration, which says the buildup is a potentially destabilizing problem in South America and is far more than what would be needed for domestic defense alone.
Raul Isaias Baduel, Venezuela's defense minister, recently said the project to build 20 of the aircraft could be used to bolster border surveillance and combat environmental destruction in Venezuela.

 The Devil's Excrement
Then day before yesterday, the Minister of transport and Communications essentially said that he did not have to deal with the company’s union as the pensioned workers had accepted the minimum salary for their pensions.
This led to a protest yesterday by the pensioned workers who not only say the union is their only representative, but also that they continue to demand higher pensions as well as a higher price for their shares.
In addition to these irregularities, there are reports in the press of the existence of a large volume of orders placed as a result of investors “selling their quota” to other investors.

The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, said today during a press conference in Caracas, Venezuela, that talks held with the National Electoral Council, Venezuela’s highest electoral body, were successful in finalizing details to send an OAS Electoral Observation Mission for the December 3 presidential elections.
The terms for monitoring the elections meet the requirements of the upcoming electoral process in Venezuela and are in accordance with that country’s legal framework, Insulza said.
The Secretary General emphasized that the OAS does not intend to be a protagonist in the process, adding that such a role belongs to the Venezuelan authorities and to the people themselves who will go to the polls.
